WSJ breaks down lawyer's potential
winnings from SCO v IBM

WSJ breaks down lawyer's potential
winnings from SCO v IBM 11/06/2003 10:03 AM
This WSJ article says attorney David Boies could see $49.4 million or more from representing SCO in its $3B lawsuit alleging IBM stole trade secrets over Linux software-- even if SCO's case is unsuccessful.

Documents SCO recently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission say the Lindon, Utah, software firm "is in the process of finalizing" a deal with its counsel. Under the agreement, SCO would pay the lawyers 20% of the proceeds of "a sale of SCO during the pendancy of litigation." SCO is suing International Business Machines Corp.

In 4 p.m. trading on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market Wednesday, SCO was at $17.87, giving the company a market capitalization of $247 million. If SCO sells at that price, the Boies firm would be entitled to $49.4 million -- and probably more with the premium that usually comes in a takeover.

Media lawyer's bl0g from Grokster
hearings 03/30/2005 04:32 AM
Cory Doctorow: The Media Access Project's Harold Feld attended yesterday's Grokster hearing and has blogged his impressions of the proceedings:

Don Virelli led off for the recording industry. He began with the assertion that Grokster's P2P software has no legitimate uses. The justices reacted skeptically. "Didn't the court below find lots of legitimate uses, such as distribution of public domain works or distribution of works authorized by the rights holders, even if the vast majority of traffic was arguably infringing?" Virelli stuck to his guns, thus falling prey to the trap that has undermined industry so many times in this fight: they over sell.

Scalia then started in on innovation: "But what about inventors? How will they know what people will use this for? Do they get a free ride for a few years to see if the predominant use is infringing or non-infringing?" Again, Virelli went too far. "In reality, these people don't get sued just for inventing stuff" he claimed, while the entire bar section rolled its eyes. Again, the Justices weren't buying. "Inventors need certainty they won't be sued or they won't invent," said Breyer.

Are the Tyco executives criminals?

Are the Tyco executives criminals? 04/09/2004 04:11 PM

The Tyco CEO and CFO are in the news right now after a mistrial (st ory).  Allegedly they looted $600 million from the company.  This sounds bad but if you look at this profile of Tyco, the $600 mil is less than the most recent quarter's income of $720 million and only about 1% of the company's market value of $58 billion.  Let's compare that to some other looters in the news:

• Richard Grasso took $200 million or so that he took from the New York Stock Exchange, a non-profit org.  Grasso's haul is roughly comparable to ten years of profits for the NYSE.  Grasso got his looting approved by his friends on the Board and therefore won't face criminal prosecution though the NY State attorney general is trying to force him to repay some of his booty.
• Jack Welch, in his autobiography, talks about having transferred 30 percent of General Electric from the investors into the hands of "employees" (the lions share to himself and a few other top guys presumably).
• William T. Esrey and Ronald LeMay looted $311 million in one year alone from Sprint, about half of the company's profits in a good year.  They were not prosecuted for their looting but the IRS became upset with their scheme to avoid paying any taxes on this income.

From the very fact of their prosecution we can infer that the Tyco guys did not dot their i's and cross their t's as effectively as the average corporate looter but is there any evidence that their looting was above average?

Dapreview got their hands on the BenQ JoyBee 720 at this year's CeBIT, and they appear to be full of almost nothing but complaints. Though the unit brings back a flash media expansion slot, they say the size of the unit itself and retroness of its internal menus strike a fatal blow. I guess you can't really tell from the picture, but the unit does appear to be pretty enormous.
